21:12

When the victim in an accident dies due to fault of the other person, leaving behind surviving family members who suffer the loss of a loved one, then a wrongful death lawsuit can be filed by the victim’s family for a compensation for the loss. 

 
However, not every lawyer can promise you full compensation in the case, there are some elements required to prove a wrongful death claim. If your case has none of these elements, it won't carry weight in court and you will fail to get the compensation.

If you are unable to prove that the death of the victim is due to the other party's negligence, your claim will be denied by the court. Further, you must show that the death has caused hardships for the surviving family members.

Before claiming compensation, you need to know who may be held guilty for the wrongful death. Wrongful death case can be filed against any person, company, government agency or employee, who so ever may be at fault.

An experienced lawyer will have knowledge of all these facts and elements and will try to examine all these elements. He will make sure you have a valid claim before moving forward with the case.
